[Elecraft] K3 from 100W to QRP

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Yes, I'm not complaining and Wayne has said there will be a low power tune
option coming.

Wayne/Eric, perhaps it would be a good idea to maintain a public list of all
the enhancement requests, so people know whats been asked for?
This could be done at Zerobeat, but it would take a while to compile the
list.


Anyway, a number of posibilities for Elecraft to consider at some future
date:
1) A Main Menu item to set power control coarseness
2) A CONFIG menu item to set coarseness
3) A MAIN MENU item to switch 'MON' from monitor to an alternative 'rate' of
power control and then a hold of MON would switch from fine to course.
4) Then to satisfy those who want course more often than fine, a CONFIG item
to toggle PWR and MON-PWR so one is course and one is fine and you can
choose which one is 'normal' power.
